2:18 To the representatives of Russia, I have 2:20 this to say. We know you don't care for 2:23 international law and you are incapable 2:26 of living in peace with your neighbors. 2:29 Your insane nationalism contains a lust 2:32 for domination that will not cease until 2:35 you realize that the age of empires is 2:38 over and that your empire will not be 2:41 rebuilt. 2:43 Every drone strike by the heroes of the 2:46 armed forces of Ukraine, may God bless 2:49 them, brings this day closer. Your 3-day 2:54 special military operation can't even 2:56 conquer Donbas for 10 years now. 3:00 But the potential for criminal 3:03 catastrophic Russian mis mistakes is 3:06 still there. 3:08 By ordering mobilization in 1914, you 3:11 precipitated the start of World War I, 3:14 which bled Europe white and led to your 3:16 Bolevik Revolution. By singing by 3:20 signing the Hitler Stalin pact, you 3:22 helped launch World War II, the 3:24 bloodiest in history. By Sovietizing 3:27 Central Europe, you caused the Cold War. 3:30 Don't start another one. 3:33 We are peaceful democracies who have 3:35 studiously avoided actively joining your 3:38 attempt to reconquer Ukraine. But we 3:42 will not be intimidated. 3:44 I have only one request to the Russian 3:46 government. If another missile or 3:49 aircraft enters our space without 3:52 permission, deliberately or by mistake 3:56 and gets shot down and the wreckage 3:58 falls on NATO territory, please don't 4:01 come here to whine about it. You have 4:03 been warned. Thank you.

Poland and Europe just gave Putin notice that the incursion into NATO airspace will have serious military consequences for Russia.

Putin is constantly crossing lines not wise to cross. Russia can't defeat Ukraine. Yet, it has been provoking NATO countries by violating their airspace. Putin has been playing a dangerous game, and that has consequences.

Russia isn’t trying to reconstitute their empire, and they’re no threat to Europe. I read a theory about why Russia sent drones into Poland and flew MiG-31s through Estonian airspace, and that theory makes perfect sense.

This theory is that Russia is not trying to threaten Europe, but is trying to bait European countries into firing on, or even shooting down, a Russian aircraft so that they can claim that Europe is the actual aggressor, to be used as justification for continuing their campaign in Ukraine. The drones flown into Poland were unarmed and harmless, while the MiGs did not fly over any portion of the Estonian landmass, but rather flew slightly inside Estonian airspace over the sea.

Maybe Russia should stop all the cyberattacks of Poland’s civilian infrastructure and violations of Poland’s airspace first.

Russia is provoking NATO, hoping to spread the war to the rest of the world.
It’s violating Nato’s borders roughly every day now.
The warmongering NeoSoviet-blood-at-any-cost-crowd in the Kremlin make neocons in America look like weak peace-doves.

Russia is rotting from within as we speak. Its refined gas exports have ended, its people forced to wait 8 hours in line for 3 to 10 liters of gas..., record inflation, the national wealth fund reduced to nearly nothing, Putin admitting Russia’s economy is “soft lading” and is accusing his administration to let Russia’s economy fall! Russia bank just said that the country is entering a recession.

And without Putin... Sweden and Finland would never have entered NATO!

Therefore I start to wonder... is Putin the CIA’s secret weapon to get rid of Russia’s NeoSoviet leadership once and for all?

Putin is destroying Russia from within to such a degree... is he the CIA’s Manchurian candidate ....?? Let that sink in for a minute.

Russia deliberately violates NATO air space but it will be Poland's fault if a war starts. How does that work? Oh, I forgot. For some Russia can do no wrong.

Poland will screw up and then they’ll want protection from Uncle Sugar.

It’s just a matter of time before Polish blockheads do something stupid.

Trying to claim the Euro’s (NATO) are the aggressors when a Russian fighter is shot down in NATO airspace is going to go over like a lead balloon. Mind you, those Russian fighters were ARMED, had their transponders turned off, were in Estonian airspace for 12 minutes (and not all that far from Tallinn for a few of those 12 minutes), and did not respond to warnings by radio.

Maybe duped Russian trolls would fall for that, but I think most Russians are more intelligent. For all practical purposes, Russia could make up a more useful fable by crashing a couple old jets with maintenance problems a little inside Russian airspace, and then claim NATO was responsible.

--- "Poland will screw up and then they'll want protection from Uncle Sugar."

It is fascinating how enthused people get about words. Since this thread is about a Polish politician and his view, here is a view of said politician of which some are unaware.

"Anne Applebaum met Radosław Sikorski, a prominent Polish politician and journalist, in the early 1990s. The couple tied the knot in 1992. Their marriage has been a significant part of both of their lives, influencing their respective careers and shaping their personal journeys."

"Anne Applebaum’s marriage to Radosław Sikorski provides a glimpse into the personal life of this accomplished historian and journalist. Their shared passion for truth, justice, and public service has not only strengthened their bond but also enriched their individual careers. As they continue their journey together, we can expect more insightful contributions from both Applebaum and Sikorski in their respective fields."

Anne Applebaum: A Closer Look at Her Personal Life and Marriage Hollywoods Magazine, 18 February 2024.

Remember this oldie but goodie from Mrs. Sikorski?

Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini Anne Applebaum, 22 July 2024.

Or this?

Suddenly Trump Looks Older and More Deranged The Atlantic, 18 October 2024.

This is all about lobbying President Trump -- "deranged" and . Or as you said, "they'll want protection from Uncle Sugar." We know this from another Polish politician of higher rank than Mr. Sikorski-Applebaum:
500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians. [...] Europe today lacks the belief that we are truly a global force.”

Polish PM Donald Tusk, speaking before his flight to London for the European Ukraine summit: X, 2 March 2025.

The Sikorskis think, as above, " Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini." Like a trifecta for the "let's America and Russia fight, and we'll hold Uncle Sugar's coat."

The 2024 US Presidential Election with a Trump victory didn’t turn out the way ‘Applebum’ wanted.

“Elections have consequences.”

Thank God and thank the American voters.

Like the amended name, for she is a "piece of work" and an ass.
